People hate on this look but go ahead and peek those flat cv shafts. The overall appearance may not be your thing but that’s The owners call. That’s a nice lift that probably rides better and treats your truck better than so many of these folks pissed at their leveling kits [emoji482]


Worst thing I’ve ever done to any of my trucks was do a leveling kit, best thing I’ve ever done to my truck was do the CST Lift.

It depends. I don't see a problem with a level kit if the sole use is putting slightly larger tires and getting rid of the rake (pure aesthetic). Never had an issue with leveled trucks I understand it might lower the life span of your ball joints and CVs and such but not by a big enough margin. Not in my experience at least.

Thanks!

The ride quality suffers along with your suspension. The worst was the ride quality but I resolved it all with a lift, absolutely LOVE my truck now and will NEVER do another level, as a matter of fact, I preach to everyone not to do it. To each their own.....

Never understood why people like the roller skate look, or why you’d put rubberband wheels on a 4WD but to each their own,

Roller skates- when the wheels stick out past fenders, either because of spacers, or horrible offsets

Rubber bands - thin amounts of rubber on a big rim 24-26-28-30, tires that provide no cushion

Wheels sticking out the sides and low aspect tires is the picture in my mind.  I think they look good for show but would spend my dollar on more practical mods.

I’d have to agree with you “BUT” to each their own. You see, one of the greatest gifts in life is individuality, I also have the utmost respect for a well tricked out truck, the passion and funds that go into a really tricked out truck is outstanding. As far as just a lifted truck with clown wheels and tires with nothing more than bad offsets and oversized wheels wrapped by cheap skinny’s, sure, I agree!

All that rim and some tiny sidewalks. Like I said this is a clown look. And stop trying to make this a level guys are jealous of lift guys. This is not about that. A lift is best way to go but with meats on sidewalk and not sticking out 5 inches like crusty the clown.

I never understood the big rims. Just ruins the ride quality. The best part of lifting is you can fit fatter tires and do some serious off-roading. The truck in the first picture looks like it would get stuck on wet grass.

My first reaction was :crackup:and what a good for nothing truck, very weak looking and no where near tough. I just don't understand why people put big rims and maybe 3" of tire sidewall on trucks, ghetto bling bling holmes. Its like someone with a 69 Chevelle pulling the 396 out and putting in a 4 cylinder. The only thing that truck has going for it is the rims are not black.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?
